About Me |
|
| "Behind that moustache, lurks the voice of an angel" fan quote....I'm no good at this, this business of music...I just write songs. The recordings here are rehearsal recordings straight to a laptop without microphones. Someday in the near future when hibernation has lost it's appeal there will be a record, god knows there are hundreds of songs written that scream at me to be recorded. Someday when I've conquered the fear of playing live a little more I will tour, until then...Thank you for all the kind words and support it warms a heart in need of warmth.
here is a review of my last show at the charleston..."Whiteshoes and the Nightmares of Nashville came on at nearly midnight. "Hi," said Whiteshoes, checking his microphone by muttering "Uhm, baby Jesus loves me, yes I know it's true." Shupbach was back on the wobbly stool, cello and slide guitar were set up behind them, and Whiteshoes stood at the fore in his black tassel jacket. Smoothing his hair behind his ears, he pushed up his tiny pince-nez glasses and took a sip of his drink, then announced that this would be his first show standing up, rather than sitting on a stool, and so he didn't quite know what to do with himself. He took another drink and folded his arms. Upstairs you could hear the bar's jukebox and the pipes acting up again, and maybe a few parents shuffling about in search of their goddamn disrespectful kids.The Nightmares of Nashville started up with a couple new songs, and "Shaped Like a Gun" quieted the few voices that drug on rudely in the back of the room. Shoes' nasally voice would no doubt get a nod of approval from Willie Nelson, and whining over a George Jones cover it all seemed just right for that particular moment. The cello added an achingly melancholy touch, though Whiteshoes' warbling seemed capable of sucking the joy out of life just fine on its own. The group proved to be a quiet nightcap to the previous sets, and though the crowd dwindled as Whiteshoes drawled on, those who were left stood entranced as the band played one song after another about heartbreak, heartbreak, and heartbreak." patrick sullivan from lostatsea.netMyspace Backgrounds |
